Full Swing KIT System Requirements: What Do I Need To Run This Golf Launch Monitor?
Discover how to bring the same pro-level tech used by Tiger and Rory into your own practice space. Our guide shows exactly what you’ll need to get the most from the Full Swing KIT.
With updated firmware, improved accuracy, and an absolutely gorgeous OLED screen, the Full Swing KIT is a legitimate contender in the premium radar golf launch monitor category.
You’ve probably seen this launch monitor as the shot-tracking device used in the ESPN-televised TGL indoor golf league.
They’re actually using this exact same launch monitor. The same one you can put in your house or take to the range.
Now don’t get me wrong. There’s only one TGL and SoFi Center. You’re not going to have the world’s largest hitting screen or a massive green and chipping area that dynamically changes its topography for every hole.
But short of that, you absolutely can have the same launch monitor used in the team competitions with Tiger, Rory, and the boys.
But what do you need to run it?
Well, actually nothing more than the launch monitor itself.
But what do you need to get the most out of your Full Swing KIT?
That too is simple, but there’s a bit more to it. Let’s break it down.
What Are the Full Swing KIT System Requirements?
Because the Full Swing KIT includes a built-in OLED display, you can get numbers right on the device — no phone, tablet, or computer required. Place the KIT 8 to 10 feet behind the ball with another 8-plus feet of ball flight in front, and you’re hitting in minutes.
If you want to store/organize sessions, review 4K swing video, or play sim golf, you’ll pair the KIT with supported software.
Full Swing App / Apple iOS Compatibility Requirements
- iPhone: iPhone 10 or later, running iOS 16.0 or later
- iPad: iPad eighth-gen or later, iPad Air fourth-gen or later, or any iPad Pro, running iPadOS 16.0 or later
- Apple Watch: Series 4 or later (watchOS 9 or later)
The Full Swing mobile app unlocks data archiving, layout customization, video tools, Apple Watch readouts, and more. Connect via Bluetooth; the KIT can also use on-board Wi-Fi for updates and cloud sync.
Full Swing App / Android Compatibility Requirements
- Android 10.0 and up
Once you’ve got the app installed and have created an account, starting a session really is as easy as:
- Turning on the Full Swing KIT
- Pairing it via Bluetooth with your device
- Setting the Full Swing KIT 8 to 10 feet behind your golf ball
- Starting a practice session in the app
- Aligning the launch monitor with your target line
Built-In Screen Means Golf Data Anywhere, Anytime
If you want to grab numbers before a round, the KIT’s bright OLED display makes it easy to see carry distance, ball speed, club speed, spin, and more without opening the app.
For deeper work like 4K video replay, session history, layout customization, Apple Watch readouts, or simulator play, pair to the app.
Additionally, you can play sim golf right out of the box with the included E6 Connect course package. Beyond that, the Full Swing KIT is compatible with a range of third-party software options, including GSPro. Each additional software option will include its own system requirements.
To play Full Swing’s native sim software, you’ve got to opt for their Full Swing KIT Studio, starting at $11,500. The software does require a pretty robust gaming PC. But you don’t have to worry about system requirements because the package includes the computer.
What Do I Need To Run a Full Swing KIT Golf Launch Monitor?
Not much at all, actually. Just the Full Swing KIT itself, if you’d like.
After that, the device’s capabilities come alive through an app experience that has minimal system requirements by 2025 standards. Most smartphone owners likely already have more than enough to enjoy a great time with this launch monitor.
From there, you can explore a range of outside sim golf software options thanks to the Full Swing KIT’s versatile compatibility.
If you’re looking for a premium, tour-trusted radar with a built-in OLED screen and 4K video, the Full Swing KIT makes the requirements piece refreshingly simple.
